It also argues the house has architectural value as a Queen Anne residence with later additions.","narrative":"Standing at the corner of Third and Washington streets in Hinsdale, this Queen Anne house was built in 1889, according to tax records found by a local historical society researcher. Its limestone foundation, clapboard walls, three-story tower, hexagonal screened porch and porte-cochère give it a distinctive look. The house grew in stages: major changes around 1897, a south-side extension between about 1909 and 1919, a detached garage in 1940, and a family room, elevator tower and underground garage around 1980. Inside, original features include an oak staircase with carved newel posts, pocket doors and a walnut-mantel fireplace in the parlor. The property is tied to Francis Stuyvesant Peabody, a Chicago coal executive whose Peabody Coal Company supplied fuel to Chicago Edison under long-term contracts negotiated with Samuel Insull. Peabody also ran as the Democratic candidate for Chicago sheriff in 1894. The house remains a private single-family home.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still in use as a single dwelling; the form lists its current function as Domestic/Single Dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.67071-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/88/8927/28892788/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/00001330.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001330/99ec04d773-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00001330/99ec04d773-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Teemu08 (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Francis_Stuyvesant_Peabody_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Teemu08 (talk)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Francis_Stuyvesant_Peabody_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28892788","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Stuyvesant_Peabody_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5482530"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/dupage-county/peabody-francis-stuyvesant-house-00001330/"}
